New 90 Watt Strobes Installed!!!

OMG GUYS THESE ARE SOOOO F*ING BRIGHT!
90 watt

They flash 3 times a second, for some reason the camera only renders 1 flash per second.

Here is a clip:

Looks awesome! I want to get something like that, but am hesitant.. hehe.. A friend of mine is a fireman, and he has his Pathfinder all decked out with lights, and hidden flashers in his reds and wig-wags and stuff.. it's a crazy setup

Igor looks like you took my and the other dudes advice to get the REAL set. Good deal.

To answer you question on why it only looks 1strobe per second is because your digi cam is only taking the video at 15 frames per second, half of what normal video cameras take it at. Remember when that dude said videos cant do it justice? this is one of the reasons.

So where did you end up putting them on your front headlight assembly? Where did you put the rear ones in the tails?

I still need to get my 6 strobe kit out of my box and install it..... just sitting there collecting dust.

BigDog - Didn't I say that he would buy the cheap strobes and then come to me later on for the good stuff? Now Igor has been hooked up with the brightness! If anyone else wants to get hooked up, e-mail me!

having strobes is impersonating a officer, and yes it is illegal, and yes you can go to jail, so be careful
